Current champion continued her winning streak.

Very good challenger though.

She got VAULTING for 8 with the S left over but nobody queried whether she could have had VAULTINGS (as in vaultings of ceilings) for 9. I checked, and it's an allowable Scrabble word so presumably should be okay for Countdown.

I considered vaultings as well. If I was playing on the actual show I probably wouldn't have risked it unless I was falling behind. What is allowed in scrabble is not necessarily allowed in Countdown.

Rachel wearing far too many clothes lately. Sort it out Channel 4!

No, as Susie said yesterday, Chambers dictionary is the official dictionary of Scrabble, whereas it's the O.E.D. for Countdown.

When Rachel had put up the 8 letter word with the S left over the plural was such an obvious possibility I was surprised they didn't address the issue and rule it out if it was not to be allowed.

Better outfit today. The 100 year old guy in the front row will be keeling over.

I didn't realise that this was the Perv Over Rachel thread. Is this really why some people watch Countdown?

It's the only reason I started watching again, before Rachel I hadn't been arsed about Countdown since the halcyon days of Richard Whiteley (RIP).

I agree with whoever said above that Ms. Riley has been wearing too many clothes of late. Missed today's episode, anyone got any screencaps of her?...

No it's just a very worthwhile bonus.

Wait ... what? Are you implying that there are people for whom Rachel-perving is NOT their reason to watch it? You mean there are people out there who still try to guess the words and so on? You learn something every day

Ooh yes, that's more like it, Rachel! The arse and legs are back, and the twins are getting an outing too!

Gingered was a good word, didn't get that one.

I do think it could be distracting as I thought what she was wearing was quite unsuitable for moving letters from one place to the other.

What would you suggest she wear then? A hermetically sealed canvas bag?

she could wear a dress or a suit, not something you would wear to go to a disco
